Definitions and quotes

Ethnology
Ethnology (from the Greek ἔθνος, ethnos meaning "nation") is the branch of anthropology that compares and analyzes the characteristics of different peoples and the relationship between them (cf. cultural, social, or sociocultural anthropology).
In the face of climate change and ever more intensive land use, EU-funded researchers gathered new data on groundwater and the ecosystems that depend upon it. Their work supports tools and methods for managing these systems in an integrated way, while considering environmental, economic and social factors.
